TRADE WITH U.S.A.
PROJECTED PACT
MEETING OF PROTEST
BRITISH PARLIAMENTARIANS
(Received June 9, 2.45 p.m.)
LONDON, June 8.
The projected Anglo-American trade pact, with its reactions in the Dominions, burst into British politics this afternoon. Over 100 of the 300 members of the House of Commons and members of the Empire Industries Association held, an emergency meeting in the House of Commons and more than bluntly hinted to the Government that any Anglo-American trade pact must not damage Britain's interests or interfere with Imperial preference. Brigadier-General Sir Henry PageCroft presided at the meeting, which was' private and unanimously passed a resolution "emphatically objecting to any action in any way interfering with the fuller development, or even weakening the present effectiveness, of the domestic and Imperial tariff system or sacrificing Home or Empire production for the sake of some illusory project for the revival of economic internationalism."
